Well, I’m here to answer this question, and it’s not exactly a trash-out. More trash-out, I would consider like holes in the wall, stuff like that. The situation we actually ran into at this house is we had a mini-Picasso that actually lived here, and there was crayon, and marker, and everything on every wall. Everything single wall. I’m not joking. Every single wall, on the doors, on everything, and it was all about three foot high all the way around right there. Definitely not ideal. It was a lot. I’ve been doing this a long time and it is by far the most extensive amount of stuff that I’ve ever had to deal with on a turnover type process right there. Just definitely a lot as for actual like doings right there.
So, with that, we came in, we assessed it, started with big stuff like that or whatever. We actually reached out to several different vendors and stuff like that on trying to get some quotes on if we could wash it, if we could repair it, if we needed to paint it, what we needed to do. Actually, on this house right here, we just decided just to paint all of it right there. Luckily, we have got some great vendors out there that do a lot of work for us and were absolutely able to make it work, and it was fantastic for having those previous relationships right there that we can actually count on right there to your benefit as the owner or whatever it may be.
So, with that, we’re going to be just a little bit over actually what their security deposit is, but pretty much, their security deposit is going to be able to actually cover all of this right there, which is absolutely amazing. This has kept me up all night for several nights since I actually came in here and until we could actually get these painters in here to actually really assess it. But this house is now in fantastic shape. It looks great. Somebody is going to be so happy to have this, and you will never know and be never the wiser. Honestly, it’s to the next person’s benefit because you’ve got brand new paint everywhere too. So it looks great in here.
They did a fantastic job. The only thing that is really remaining is some of these blinds pretty much every… I don’t know about every blind, but I think there’s a total count of eight blinds were damaged in some sort, so we got to replace those out. Luckily, blinds are pretty cheap, so we’ve got some good contacts for stuff like that, and they will be coming through.
There’s a few little trash items that we need to get out and stuff like that but ultimately, this house is in great shape, and it should be ready to go, I think, by the end of the week, which is actually awesome. You can start seeing those blinds too as well right there. But it’s great because of just how much stuff had been redone right here. Like I said, it was in bad, bad shape right there. You can see that toilet. How you break that toilet seat?
But anyways, you will see all things right there in the rental business. But with that, like I said, this house is in good shape. Those last few items, like the blinds and stuff like that, I think that might be getting done either this afternoon, or maybe tomorrow afternoon, or something like that. Our cleaners are scheduled to come in, I believe, on Wednesday or Thursday of this week, and then we are actually going to get it going.
We’ve actually got another new construction house right across the street right over there that was in great shape. That took no time over there. All we got to do is get that one cleaned right there. We have listed that one, but we have not listed this one. I think I’m going to go ahead and list this one right here so that way, we can just go ahead, and have it out, and start filling inquiries on it, and stuff like that because like I said, once it gets cleaned, we will start showings then at that time.
But with that, have you ever wondered what to do on when a tenant trashes your rental? Just break it down. Get some good people around you. Find good vendors and stuff like that. Whether you’re self-managing, or using a property management company like Clear Property Management in which we have got good relationships, and you’ve got to get good relationships with these vendors so whenever stuff like this happens right there, you’re able to rely on them to get your house back in order right there.
Downtime on this was nothing. What is it? The ninth right now. I mean, that’s for less than two weeks right there, and we’re all going to be listed right there, even with the holidays and everything else like that. Fantastic. Could be not more proud of our team at Clear Property Management and everybody else like that. So, with that, if you have got a house that you want managed in the Central Arkansas area, especially Bryant like we are in right now, we would love to help. Give us a shout. Have a fantastic day. Thanks.
